There are two types of abscesses: superficial abscesses and deep abscesses.
A superficial abscess is most often due to an ill-treated and infected wound. This wound can be very small, like a simple bite, or more important, like a cut or a bite. Bacteria grow to form an abscess due to the soiling of the wound, the cause of the injury (sick animal or infectious element) and also the fact that the cat can lick it repeatedly. This type of abscess is usually visible on the surface, or at least noticeable by touch.
A deep abscess forms on an organ, such as the lungs, intestines, stomach and even the liver. They are generally invisible because they are internal. They are the consequence of diseases, such as cancers or occlusions, and are only diagnosed by additional examinations, in particular ultrasounds or blood tests.
The abscess can quickly degenerate and lead to serious complications. It is therefore important to do the right thing and consult the veterinarian immediately.
